Another quick report. I'm back in Australia now. Just waiting in the lounge at Sydney for my flight to Canberra. Had a very welcome shower.

Tomorrow I'll chase up my points from Qantas - they credit their own flights almost as soon as the plane lands, but other airlines (and the Marriott in Toronto) take their sweet time.

Let's see. Aer Lingus could take some lessons from American Airlines. American Airlines could learn from Qantas. And Qantas needs to study under Cathay Pacific.

The long routes like the transpacific one are those where you really feel the details. I can endure just about anything for a short time - like the hop from Guernsey to Jersey in a Trislander where I was wedged in very tight with my carryon luggage on my knees - but after fourteen hours you notice tiny shortcomings with crystal intensity.

Cathay Pacific had the Video on Demand screens and they were brilliant. I loved being able to pause and rewind when meals were served. And what meals!

I can see a lot more of my future travel going through Hong Kong!
